Zach Galifianakis Missed His Chance to Give President Obama an Incredible Nickname

For someone as historically important as President Barack Obama (you know, the first black president thing), it’s kind of surprising he doesn't have a cool nickname. I mean, it's possible his friends call him something we have no idea about, but those kinds of inside jokes don't always translate to a mass audience. And "Barry" certainly isn't going to cut it.

So it kind of bums me out when I see Zach Galifianakis tell Conan O'Brien he saw an item on the White House cafeteria menu called "Chocolate Freedom" and refused to ask Obama on Between Two Ferns if that's what people around the White House called him. Chocolate Freedom! That's an outstanding nickname. You know how many more things you could pass through Congress with a nickname like Chocolate Freedom? No one wants to be the senator who denied both chocolate and freedom.

It’s not too late, President Obama. If there's any big legislation you want to pass in these last few months, you know what you have to do.
